Senator Cools has reached the top of the career ladder. Our Senate is an appointed house rather than elected, and so that job is hers until she reaches 75.
The Canadian Senate has a well-deserved reputation for being a rubber stamp for the House of Commons. It's refreshing when we see them, as individuals or parties, standing up to the government.
Are there any other relatively known black conservatives in Canada (politicians or not) in Canada?
Just wait til the Conservatives seat those elected Senators from Western Canada who have been cooling their heels for years and introduce provision for an elected Canadian Senate.
